Advance Care Planning

You have the right to make decisions about your health care, now and for the future. Medical treatment should only be given with your fully informed consent and you have the right to refuse treatment. If, in the future, you become unable to express your choices for treatment, your doctors and family/friends may not know what you want.

An Advance Care Plan gives you the opportunity to record, ahead of time, your choices. An Advance Care Plan only comes into effect if you lose legal capacity to make decisions about your medical treatment.
